HANDKERCHlEF=BOX.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 335,723, dated February 9, 1886.

Application filed April 1'7, 1885. Serial No. 162,560. (No model.)

To. all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, LOUIS P. SHULER- SHUTZ, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Handkerchief-Box, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to a new box for keeping handkerchiefs on sale. Ordinarily handkerchiefs are tied in bunches with tapes or ribbons, which soon become soiled in exhibiting the goods, and have to be replaced at quite an expense of time and labor.

My invention consists of the combination, with a box, of aremovable frame having tapes or ribbons secured thereto that serve to hold the handkerchiefs or other goods in place in the box, and permit the goods to be removed without disturbing the tapes or ribbons.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, formingipart of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a plan View of my new and improved box as itappears when open, and Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the same.

A represents a shallow handkerchief-box with cover B. In the box is placed the frame 0, which is made to fit the sides of the box, and is composed of the upright flange c and horizontal flange c, and has the cross tapes or ribbons D D secured to it, which serve to retain the goods in the box. Tabs (Z (Z are attached to opposite sides of the frame O,to enable the frame to be conveniently lifted out of the box. The flanges c are made of a width to rest upon the bottom of the box. The flange c project= ing inwardly, serves also to hold the goods in place in the box, and in this instance an ornament, E, is attached to the flange c of the frame, as shown in the drawings.

4 By constructing the box as described, handkerchiefs or similar goods may be held in the box as nicely as though tied into bunches, and by removing the frameO they may be removed for inspection,and replaced without the necessity of -untying bunches, and without disturbing or soiling the ribbons D.

Having thus described my invention,what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

1. The combination, with the box A, of the removable frame 0, provided with ribbons or tapes D, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. The frame 0, composed of flange o and inwardly-projecting flange c, and provided with cross tapes or ribbons D D, in combination with box A, substantially as described.

LOUIS P. SHULER-SHUTZ.
